This recipe was inspired by a 40 garlic clove chicken recipe I regularly make. This slow cooker garlich chicken thigh recipe an easy no-fuss dinner that can be easily accompanied by any side. Perfect for those busy weeknights served with a side of veggies or salad. I served mine with butternut squash noodles for a low-carb alternative.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp ghee
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 8-10 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 15-20 whole garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 tsp. fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs thyme
Directions:
Add olive oil and ghee to a heavy large skillet, over medium high heat.
Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Add to skillet and sear 2-3 minutes on both sides until browned, but not all the way cooked.

In the same pan, add onions and garlic and cook 2-3 minutes until soft, and add to slow cooker.
Add thyme sprigs.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours.
Serve with a side of your favorite veggies.
